Activated charcoal has been used for hundreds of years to adsorb toxicants. Activated charcoal works by physically binding the poison or toxicant to itself, in the digestive tract. It traps poison so that it is eliminated through a bowel movement or otherwise flushed from the digestive tract. The great advantage of activated charcoal is that it acts on a wide variety of poisons and toxicants. So, the person treating a poisoned patient doesn’t have to know what the poison or toxicant was before proceeding.
